Workshop Description
If we believe God is active in the world around us, we may want to get outside our church buildings to meet Christ in our neighbors. It can be as simple as walking through a neighborhood looking for signs of God, or as complex as joining with other agencies to create change in our community.Join members of diocesan leadership teams from Indianapolis and Ohio as they reflect on their experiences in training congregations in the Faithful Innovation Initiative (developed by the Rev. Dr. Dwight Zscheile and Luther Seminary), an experiential approach to missional thinking, experimentation, and action-reflection learning.
